Errol Musk Accused of Abusing Children Over Decades, NYT Investigation Says

A New York Times investigation draws on police files, family correspondence and interviews to bring long‑standing accusations into public view.

Overview

  • The report cites allegations from multiple relatives that Errol Musk sexually abused five children and stepchildren dating back to the 1990s.
  • The earliest account involves Jana Bezuidenhout, who as a four‑year‑old in 1993 allegedly told family members he touched her inappropriately.
  • Police and court records indicate three separate investigations were opened in South Africa, with no convictions and a 2023 case closed for lack of evidence.
  • Errol Musk denies wrongdoing, calling the claims false and alleging relatives fabricated them to seek money from Elon Musk, who did not comment through his team.
  • Family documents show relatives sought Elon Musk’s help years ago, including a roughly five‑page letter around 2010, and later accounts describe an estranged relationship.
